Scheduler extension

[Marshal Linfoot]

Greetings.

I've started testing the extensions I use in production with a fresh install of radiant 1.0.1. The scheduler extension from Sean Cribbs is one I've used for years and with a minor change, it works. However, it's vendored and as an exercise I created a gem version on my laptop. Tested it with bundler and it works!

Can someone tell me the correct way to make this kind of change and give it back to the community? Should I fork a copy from github? And then what?

PS. I'm not a developer, just a tinkerer, so please excuse if the questions above are dumb.

If you just want to have a page *appear* on a certain date, then
you'll just need to set the published date to that. This is now
built-in to radiant. If you want the page to *disappear* on a certain
date, then you'll need the scheduler extension.

What feature do you need?

Also, never be afraid to ask questions. Try something out, post your
detailed problem here and I'm certain you'll get help.

Thanks, guys.

John, I will check out the 2 github links.

Jim, I need the expiry feature of the scheduler extension. Never had a need to schedule a publish-on date.

Thanks for the pointers, John. I forked the repo, committed/pushed my changes, and initiated a pull request. I get the feeling though that Sean Cribbs isn't watching the original repo anymore -- I didn't see any notifications for the pull request.

What's next? Assuming my changes are incorporated into the original repo, would someone (Sean or some other Radiant guru) build the gem and publish it on RubyGems? 

Hope this helps...
